Ahhh thanks for the reviews! I'm so glad people want to read more! Here's the next chapter!
"He wants to change your history?" Lucy questioned, "Wyatt how do you even know this?"
"I was always told stories about my 4 times great grandfather Alexander Walkinshaw. He was a Scottish Infantry solider and right hand man to a Field Marshal, prominent in the British Army, he had close connections with Queen Victoria. Alexander therefore was highly thought of and a carer solider. Dedicated his life to the military" Wyatt explained.
"Guess that got passed down" Lucy remarked.
Wyatt smirked, "You could say that"
"Still doesn't explain about Flynn?" she asked.
"I dont know all the information but Alexander met my 4 times great Grandmother there. She was French...Lucy i think he's trying to wipe my family out of existance"
"Wyatt it could be anything" she tried to assure him. Seeing the look of concern etched on his face.
"Think about it though. What's signficant about that time in History that Flynn would want to change?" he asked her.
Lucy wracked her brain, she had this information, "Napoléon, Prince Imperial of France was murdered in battle the year before...the Anglo-Zulu War...he was young, an only child. His Father had already died 6 years before. Maybe Flynn wants to change that? There were rumours that he could have ended up the Emperor of France and marry one of Queen Victoria's children. That could change the British Monarchy"
Wyatt let it sink in, "Maybe...its possible"
"Of course it is. Anything is possible in the world were involved in now" she reminded him.
Wyatt kept his eyes on the road, a little relief obviously coming off of him, "I still cant get over how you know all this stuff. And not just American History. But world history"
Lucy smirked a little, "That's a compliment right?" she asked and then shrugged, "it's my job. You know everything about guns, bombs...and how to protect people. We all have our strengths Wyatt"
"Touche" he concluded and pulled into Mason industries, showing his badge to the guard and the barrier going up, "you ready?" he turned to her and asked.
"No," she answered truthfully, "but i dont think i will ever be ready every time we do this"
Wyatt gave her a sympathetic smile knowing exactly what she meant. He turned further into the car park to find a space. They spotted Rufus getting out of his car and he approached them.
"So Proffessor, what's the sitch on this time jump escapde?" he asked, throwing his backpack over his shoulder.
She sighed, "Honestly, it could be anything. But its South Africa in the 1880's i know that"
"Wow. This will be freshing" Rufus replied with a smile.
"How do you mean?" Lucy asked.
"At least i will blend in a little better" he shrugged with humour.
Lucy giggled, "Yeah you would..." agreeing in part.
Rufus looked satisfied.
"If you like having no footwear, feathers on your head, and a loin cloth covering your privates...then yeah you'll blend right in" she patted his shoulder as he stood deadly still as she entered the building. The Zulu's were very interesting people, but they did not believe in clothes. It was more simple way of living for them.
Wyatt closely following behind, "Do you have to do that to him?" he asked, "this is the guy that gets us too and from these places. Kinda need him on it" he looked behind him and Lucy followed his gaze. Rufus was still standing outside with a quizzical look.
"Hey i'm the truth lady. Hard facts. It's not like what i said was untrue" she pointed it, and sighed. Rufus wasnt moving. She opened the door, "come on loin cloths await"
She turned and bumped into Wyatt who was giving her a look, "What?" and before she could say anything she burst into laughter, "God stop being so serious all the time!" she chastised and moved past him.
"Come on Rufus!" She heard Wyatt shout behind her as Agent Christopher greeted her.
"Thought anymore about why this period in time?" she asked Lucy.
The boys had caught up and they all walked into the glass room overlooking the lifeboat. Which was getting ready for the mission as far as Lucy could see.
"Er yes" Wyatt nodded.
"That's not very convincing Mr Logan" Mason walked through the doors too as they sat down. A part from Wyatt who would always stand in this meetings, the closest he got to sitting was leaning against the table. He was always ready. It's like if he sat down something bad would happen and he wouldn't be able to react quick enough.
"What Wyatt means is, we arent sure. We have theory. But we could be wrong...we have been in the past" Lucy answered, with Wyatt hovering behind her. She noticed this was something he did often, he would hang back behind her in most situations. She understood on the missions, because it was his job to protect her. But he had been standing by her more and more in the last few weeks.
"We need you to have more confidence than that Ms Preston" Mason commented, "what theory do you have?"
"Shouldn't we be getting ready?" Wyatt bit out, the frustration in his voice was clear "we aren't sure about it. So isn't it best to go now before Flynn creates more damage? First one ready will come and tell you" he told her, starting to walk towards the door, to go to the changing rooms.
Rufus raised his hand like in class, "Well that would be possible if i also knew the theory"
"I'll tell you while we get changed" Wyatt snapped and then disappeared out the door.
Rufus turned to Lucy with a confused look on his face, "Whats his problem today?"
She looked to Agent Christopher and Mason who were also looking at her wondering what was making Wyatt more stroppy than usual.
"There is more than one theory...and Wyatt came up with it" Lucy told them, "his 4 times great grandfather was in South Africa at the time we are going back...i think he thinks that Flynn is there to take him out or something, resulting in-"
"-Wyatt never having existed" Rufus finished her sentence, "yeah i would be a little pissed too. I better go and check on him" he stood up quickly and headed in the direction that Wyatt just disappeared to.
"How possible is this Lucy?" Agent Christopher asked her in seriousness.
She closed her eyes and sighed. Not wanting to admit it, "I-"
"-Lucy your customes ready-" Jiya peered round the door to a tense room, "-wow who died?" she asked with a chuckle.
The irony of the comment was not lost on her. But they couldn't let it happen. If it was possible Flynn was going to try and do this to Wyatt. She would do everything she could to stop it.
Ok so fun fact. When i was thinking of this story i wanted a lot to be true...and Alexander Walkinshaw was real...he was my ancestor! He's my 3 times Great Grandfather. I know so much about him and his amazing life, i thought i would make him Wyatt's ancestor. So all the information thats on him in this is actually true...cool or not? lol
